Inhouse Private Ads?

[Sam1]

What do you think of selling ads on your site "in-house"? Instead of going to say BuySellAds.com... What are the advantages/disadvantages?

There is one disadvantage, unless your website is popular among the advertisers its really difficult to get the exposure and any good deals. The good thing with services like buysell ads is you will get good exposure and more likely you will get a better deal.

From my experience it is very hard to find somebody willing to pay good money for the ad spot, and a lot of the time the ad is poorly designed and downgrades the image of your site greatly.. I'd rather outsource ads, even though it gets you less money, it's far less hassle and leaves you less time worrying about trying to fill your advertisement space.
